HAND OI-LER.

Application filed November 12, 1924. Serial No. 749,507..

To all whom t may concern:

Beit known that we, FRED L. Tron and CARL Tien, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Kingfisher, in the county of Kingfisher and State of Oklahoma, haverinvented certain new and useful Improvementsl in Hand Oilers, of which the following is a specification. 4

This invention relates to an improved hand eilerand seeks, among other objects, to provide a device wherein, upon the opening of the discharge val-ve of the oiler, oil will be forcibly delivered from the oilercan.

The invention seeks, as a further object, to provide an oiler wherein the discharge tube ofthe device may be readily cleaned so that the device may easily be kept in good working condition.

And the inventionvseeks, as a stillI further object, to providea device wherein the pump employed will be mounted upon the ller tube of the can and: wherein the pump may be readily removed to permit of the filling of the can. t

Other and incidental objects will appear hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through our improved. handfoiler.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View taken substantially at right angles to Figure 1.

In carrying the invention into effect, we employ a can 10 which is equipped at one side thereof with a handle 11 while at its upper end the can is provided with an outlet nipple 12 which may be integral with the can, or, if preferred may be soldered orv otherwise connected thereto. The nipple is provided with a bottom wall 13 and fixed at its upper end to said wall is a discharge tube 14 extending for a portion of its length downwardly into the can axially thereof, while, as shown in Figure 1, the lower end portion of the tube is bent to extend toward 45 one side of the can and terminates near the bottom thereof. Detachably connected with the nipple 12 is a tapered outletA spout 15 provided at its larger end with a base flange 16 resting upon the outer end edge of the nipple 12, and screwed over the nipple is a collar 17 coacting with said flange forclamping the spout in position.

Fixed to thewall of the can above the handle 11 is, as shown in Figure 1, a packing gland 18 which projects obliquely into the can and s lidable throughL said gland is a valve rod 19. A suitable packing 2O is al*- rangedI in the gland1 andscrewed intoA the outer end` of said gland is a nut 2l adjustable for compressing, the packing about the valve rod. Fixed to the discharge tube 14 near the lower end. thereof, is a guide 22 slidably sup-- porting the lower end portion of the valve rod Aand formed on said rod at its lower endl is a laterally .directed terminal 23 uponwhich is mounted a .tapered valve 24 fitting inthe lower endl of said tube. Fixed to the rod 19l in spaced relation to the guide 22y is a. collar 25 and surrounding the rod tobear at one end against the guide and at its ,opposite end against the coll-ar., is a spring 26 normally holding the valve closed. Removablgyv screwed upon the valve rod. at its outer end is a knob 27. f

Upstanding from the upper end, of the ,can 1:0 at one side of the. nipple 12 is, as shown in Figure 2, a filler tube 28 and slidably fit.- ting through said tube is a pump cylinder 29..provided at its upper endWit-h an outturned. annular flange 30. Resting upon the upper .endr edge of-vthetube and underneath the flange 3Ovis4 a gasket 311 andsc'rewed upOIl the tube 28is a cap 32- compressing the gas,- ket and binding the pump cylinder inl position. Depending axially twin tbe. lower end of. the pump cylinder isa nipple 33 in which is formed a valve seat 34 at the lower end of an air passage 35 through the bottom wall of said cylinder, and freely kmounted in the nipplel to cooperate with the seat 34 is a ball valve 36. Screwed upon the lower end of t-he nipple is a cap 37 having an air passage 38 and confined by said cap is a spring 39 normally lholding the valve 36l closed. Slidable through the cap 32 at the upper end of the pump cylinder 29 is a pump rod 40 equipped at` its lower end with Aan appropriate piston 41 and removably screwed upon the upper end of the rod is a knob 42. To fill the can 10, the cap 32 is removed and the pump cylinder 29 then withdrawn through the filler tube 28. Accordingly, oil may be readily poured into the can through said tube. The pump cylinder is then, of course, again arranged in position and the cap 32 applied. As shown in Figure 2, the cap 32 is provided with an air passage so that, as will now be understood in View of the foregoing, the pump rod 40 may be operated for forcing air into the can. The valve 36 will, of course, prevent the backiow of any oil into the pump cylinder, so that t-he air will be compressed within the can above the body of oil therein. Accordingly, when the valve 24 is subsequently opened by pressure or' the thumb or linger on the knob 27 of the valve rod 19, the oil will be ejected through the discharge tube 14E and torcibly delivered through the spout 150i' the can.

'- Attention is now directed to the fact that since the pump cylinder 29 is removable, access may be readily had at any time to the valve 36 and associated parts while by unscrewing the cap 32, the. pump rod e() may be removed to permit access to the piston Lil. The pump may thus be easily repaired and maintained in efieient working condition. Furthermore, it is to be noted that by pressing downwardly on the knob 27 of the valve rod 19 until the valve 24 clears the lower end or the tube lll, the rod may then be rotated for swinging the valve to one side of `the tube. Accordingly, by then removing the spout l5, a wire o-r the like may be introduced through the tube lll 'for cleaning the tube. Clogging of the tube may thus be readily overcome.

Having thus described the invention, what we claim is:

l. A hand oiler including a. can having a discharge tube extending downwardly `therein with its inner lower end portion extending diagonally, a handle carried by said can, a guide carried by the diagonally disposed inner end portion of said discharge tube, a valve rod extending into said can and disposed parallel to the inner end portion of said discharge tube with its lower end portion slidably engaged with said guide and its upper end portion extending externally of the can adjacent said handle, said valve rod being provided at its lower' end with a laterally directed terminal, a valve Carried by said terminal for closing the lower end or' said tube, a spring yieldably holding said rod against inward movement with said valve normally closing the lower end ot said tube, said rod being movable downwardly into the canagainst the action of said spring by pressure applied to its outer enduntil the valve clears the lower end oi said tube and being rotatable to dispose the valve at one side of the tube, and an air pump carried by said can for con'ipressing air therein.

2. A hand oiler including a can having a discharge tube extending downwardly therein with its inner lower end portion extending diagonally, a handle carried by said can, av guide carried by the diagonally disposed innerend portion oi said discharge tube, a valve rod extending into said can and disposed parallel to the inner end portion ot said discharge tube with its lower end'portion slidably engaged with said guide and its upper end portion extending externally of the can above the handle and adjacent thereto, a closure for the lower end or said tube connected with the lower end of said rod, a spring yieldably holding said rod against inward movement with said valve normally in a closing position,rsaid rod being moved inwardly to unseat. said valve by pressure applied to the outer end of the rod, and means for the deliveryv of compressed air into said can.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
